I don't want awards which are manipulated - Bollywood Star Akshay Kumar

http://i25.tinypic.com/o6fk3c.jpg

The trade and organizers behind Bollywood awards such as Screen, Filmfare, Zee, IIFAs etc have long been suspected to be manipulating the awards based on political or other agendas, instead of rewarding objectively difficult to enact performances.

This was highlighted this year when Aishwarya Rai who did not get the expected best actress award for a 50-year character arc span performance in the box office superhit Guru was seen given an allegedly 'best popular' award for a lesser role in Jodha Akbar, a controversial movie, which record will show despite being given a huge budget and unprecedented open run failed to break box office benchmarks and in fact was banned in many parts of India, and whose screening was allowed not by popular uprising but by its producer pleading the supreme court on legal grounds.

Actors such as Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgan have also at various points inferred the same at various occasions, with many outright skipping the award shows altogether.

However this opinion of the bollywood awards was more directly confirmed by superstar Akshay Kumar after this year's screen awards. Kumar has now reportedly put the story on award shows out in the open, saying "I get calls from lot of awards. They say, please perform at our award night at half the price and we will give you the award...It's a very simple deal. I don't want awards which are manipulated. There are so many award nights today. Around 12 to 14 award nights. Awards ki koi value hi nehi rahi."

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc.

Bollywood New Movie Slumdog Millionaire has definitely made the slums of Mumbai a little popular. Perhaps this is why they are so welcoming to every director who wants to make a film on their lifestyle. John Abraham’s fortcoming film Hook Ya Crook is also one of those films shot in the Chikalwadi Chawl of Mumbai. This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps. The residents of the slum were delighted to see the stars around and cheered for the unit as they worked. John Abraham added to their delight by giving them autographs and taking pictures with them.
